"We are rapt to be working with a local company which is also a keen supporter of our community."
"The Hastings District Council has also helped us greatly throughout the process," she said.
"Our Hawke's Bay staff are very lucky to have a brand new facility in Napier (opened in December 2016) that will be complimented by another purpose-built modern facility in Hastings."
MCL Managing director John Bower said MCL was extremely proud and excited to have been awarded the contract for construction of the new building, saying it would be a landmark project for the company.
"The site manager for the build Mark Adams also has family links to police.
"His father J R Adams was an officer based out of the original Hastings station for 30 years, so there is a real sense of continuity between MCL and this new station."
"We are very proud to put our mark on the Hawke's Bay landscape, the design of the building allows streamlined interaction between the public and Police with an emphasis on engaging the public to further strengthen community ties," he said.
Hastings Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst said the announcement was an exciting milestone.
"We have been working in partnership with the New Zealand Police for the last two years to bring this project to fruition, and we look forward to continuing to work closely as the project moves into the physical works stage."
"The addition of a $19.8 million investment is enormously positive for our Hastings city centre and we are hugely excited about the extra vibrancy this significant investment will bring," she said.
